3: Maybe the Greatest Club Ever?

[mr-ttshowbiz.livejournal.com]

Attention all connoisseurs of the gourmet arts:

Seeing as how certain people around Babylon not only can't tell blanching from braising, but think pineapples are palatable with every dish, I find myself in need of an outlet for like minded individuals to congregate over a love of cooking. I cannot be the only one with this need.

I'm here to gauge interest for a club. A Gourmet Cooking club. Potential topics to be discussed would be: the difficulty of finding quality all purpose mixers, and how to find a quiet place to cook when the entirety of Babylon would rather riot than flambé.

Hm. Speaking of flambé, I'm in the mood for Bananas Foster.

I wouldn't mind such a club.

[mr-ttshowbiz.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear it!

Question: Do you find Williams-Sonoma overrated?

[postits]

I wasn't aware I would be quizzed.

[mr-ttshowbiz.livejournal.com]

It's not a quiz. I'm just trying out compelling conversation topics for when the club first meets.

[postits]

I have little experience with Williams-Sonoma.

[mr-ttshowbiz.livejournal.com]

Interesting. And where do you go to, for the bulk of your cooking needs?

[postits]

I collected odds and ends over the years, from many different places. Chain stores don't sit well with me.

[mr-ttshowbiz.livejournal.com]

I see, I see. A supporter of local businesses. That's commendable.

How would you like to be club secretary?

[postits]

Do you think the club will be large enough to require a secretary, Mr. Guster?

[mr-ttshowbiz.livejournal.com]

I'm optimistic -- who doesn't enjoy a heated debate over the role of microwaves in the culinary arts?

[postits]

I'll consider it once I see the turnout.

[ex_wells219]

I'm not like, Iron Chef quality but I really like to cook, so I'd definitely come to meetings.

[hostbu]

Yes!! Culture for Babylon! Editable culture!

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

I for one fully support your involvement in this.

[rockthewolves.livejournal.com]

I'm game.

Ah, it sounds like fun, doesn't it? Maybe he'll do something with bento.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

You should come, Sofer-san! I bet you have a lot of things that you could share with everyone!

[postits]

I'll go, I'm just unsure of these secretarial duties. They sound like a bit much. Are you going?

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

It sounds like fun to me! There are so many people here, that I'd like to learn how to cook different things. It's like a whole mixed menu of different foods from different worlds.

[postits]

It does sound enjoyable. I'm surprised we didn't think of it sooner.

[mr-ttshowbiz.livejournal.com]

That's not a problem, so long as you've got an interest.

Also, you raise another potential topic for discussion: does anyone actually like Bobby Flay?

[mr-ttshowbiz.livejournal.com]

Maybe if things go well, we could look into catering events around Babylon. Events that don't endanger my life and/or wok.

[mr-ttshowbiz.livejournal.com]

Word.

Another topic to consider: Is margarine ever really an acceptable butter substitute?

[mr-ttshowbiz.livejournal.com]

And what about you, Selina? The more the merrier!

[mr-ttshowbiz.livejournal.com]

That's a great idea! Proactivity -- that's what I like to see. Can I expect to see you at the first meeting?
